Some Cadillac XTS owners report experiencing starting issues and stalling even when the battery, starter, and alternator appear to be in good condition. These problems may be attributed to engine timing being off, which can result in stalling and poor performance. Additionally, issues with battery terminals, poor electrical connections, or a weak ground connection can still lead to starting difficulties despite a seemingly healthy battery. Owners may also encounter problems related to Variable Valve Timing (VVT), which can impact engine performance and contribute to stalling. Furthermore, some owners find that diagnostic equipment may not accurately identify the underlying issues, complicating the troubleshooting process. It is crucial for owners to have a comprehensive inspection of their Cadillac XTS to properly diagnose and resolve these concerns.
